Are there any popular shows with positive black male archetypes?

people write about what they know and what they think they can sell. theres a variety of content out there. every other race has media depictions of harsh realities as well.

ok bro i am not going in circles.

i would not want my young ones watching black tv shows or asian propaganda shows or watch all these yacubian tv shows with their ideals.

this is not a Godbody site or problack consciousnesses, you guys are excessive with trying to jump on every mainstream wave.

every black show : guns gang drugs if you cant see that or perhaps defending a futile stand just for the coli then more power to you. :hubie:

We need to bring back sitcoms honestly. They always portrayed a wholesome, positive image. Even the cac ones. Nowadays it's all about exploring the darker side of humanity. Can't even let your kids watch cartoons without vetting them first.

On My Block had Jamal. Surprised me netflix didn't go the :dame: or pawging route with him and they even had both his parents present and a positive influence on him.

Gave props to @taker597 for recommending this in TFR. Entertaining sci-fi about a breh with time traveling abilities recruited by an agency that stop world ending scenarios. Great show if y'all can get pass the over the top PAWGing. :mjgrin:

Genuinely curious. I don't watch much TV these days. But growing up, you had the uncle Phils, the Cosby's etc. The archetype of a solid, masculine, strong yet benevolent black man.

Are there any modern equivalents for young black boys that are coming up?

Blackish but that was from Kenya Barris :mjpls: so not really and even back when the Cosby show was on you had ignorant Black people who said having a married well off Black couple was unrealistic because most Black people aren't doctors and lawyers. :mjpls:

So now you get crime shows, low budget comedies, and other anti-Black content that gets promoted and elevated by cacs and Black people who should know better but don't.

I just gave a list of 5 black shows earlier and the only one that possibly references gangs is 'The Chi' which has basically moved away from it in the last 2 seasons.

get em off TV in the first place.

- black people especially kids watching asian shows like squid games :bryan:
- black people watching white shows like house of dragons, game of thrones, etc :bryan:

- black people making shows like gangster this power that wire this killer that and the kids are watching :bryan:

feed them informative biopics and documentaries that way they can prosper in life without this complex or handicap.

you guys watch waaaay too many TV shows :russ:

all writers and creatives are looking at people who spend 80+ hours a week watching white/asian shows like :mjlol:
The wire was made by a white person guy
